Nov. 10 – Innovative Computing Corp. and MBA Inc. have introduced LoadXpress, an Internet-based service that gives shippers immediate access to load status regardless of fleet operating hours. Working in conjunction with the Innovative Transportation System, the LoadXpress system receives load information compiled during the trip, enabling shippers to receive the most current information. Fleets assign passwords to each shipper, ensuring that they have access to only their load information. For more information, visit the ICC website at http://www.iccokc.com.

Meritor has updated MeritorPartsXpress.com to improve search functionality for the company’s offering of 100,000 aftermarket products. The website also offers new self-service tools to help customers in North America.

In a perfect world, trucks would never break down. In the real world even the best-made trucks need to come in for service. When that happens, fleet managers want service to be completed quickly and efficiently.

Navistar has launched the Navistar Service Essentials program, a partnership aimed at helping qualified vocational-technical schools “prepare the next generation of truck and bus technicians,” according to the OEM.

Times are good everywhere in trucking and Chris Baer, president and CEO of Vipar Heavy Duty, confirmed that applies to the aftermarket segment as well in his remarks at the company’s annual conference.
